Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated assembly equipment technology, and in particular to a multifunctional connector assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, as indispensable components in electronic devices, are widely used in communications, automotive electronics, industrial control, and consumer electronics. Their assembly quality directly affects the connection reliability and signal transmission stability of the entire system. Existing connector assembly methods mostly rely on manual or semi-automatic processes, resulting in low efficiency, difficulty in meeting large-scale production demands, and susceptibility to component damage or assembly deviations due to improper operation. Furthermore, the dispersed assembly processes increase production cycles and logistics costs, and the lack of a unified automation interface leads to low equipment integration and large footprint. Existing equipment is often designed for single-model connectors, offering limited functionality and poor adaptability, making it difficult to accommodate the co-production needs of multiple product specifications. Moreover, its complex structure, difficult debugging, and high maintenance costs further complicate matters. Therefore, this invention provides a multi-functional connector assembly device. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a multifunctional connector assembly device that overcomes the problems of traditional connector assembly processes, such as dispersed procedures, low automation, difficulty in achieving simultaneous material supply and collaborative assembly of multiple components, poor equipment integration, and inability to support the co-production of multiple product specifications.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional connector assembly device, comprising a circular base plate, on which a transposition component, a transfer component, and a feeding component are provided. The transposition component includes a supporting circular plate, on which a transposition circular plate is rotatably mounted. Nine clearance circular holes are arranged in a circumferential array on the transposition circular plate. Semicircular clamping seats are symmetrically arranged in each clearance circular hole. An unfolding unit is arranged between two oppositely arranged semicircular clamping seats. A fan-shaped strip and two arc-shaped strips are arranged between the nine unfolding units. The transfer component includes an annular slide, on which a supporting strip is fixedly arranged in a circumferential array. A linkage slide is slidably mounted on each supporting strip. A square slide rod is symmetrically slidably mounted on the end of the linkage slide closest to the axis of the annular slide. A linkage unit is arranged between a limiting strip and the corresponding two square slide rods. A clamping strip and an arc-shaped clamping plate are respectively arranged at the lower end of the square slide rod. The feeding component includes a conveyor belt and eight feeding vibratory discs.

[0005] Furthermore, each unfolding unit includes an unfolding carriage, two unfolding strips, two unfolding short columns, and two strip-shaped grooves. The unfolding carriages are slidably mounted on the lower surface of the transposition circular plate. The two unfolding strips in the same unfolding unit are symmetrically slidably mounted on the transposition circular plate. The semi-circular clamping seats are respectively fixedly mounted on the corresponding unfolding strips at the ends furthest from the axis of the transposition circular plate. The unfolding short columns are respectively fixedly mounted on the corresponding unfolding strips. The two strip-shaped grooves corresponding to the same unfolding carriage are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the unfolding carriage. The unfolding short columns and the corresponding strip-shaped grooves are movably connected.

[0006] Furthermore, two unfolding cylinders are fixedly installed on the supporting circular plate. Arc-shaped strip one is fixedly installed at the piston rod end of the unfolding cylinder, and fan-shaped strip is also fixedly installed on the supporting circular plate. Arc-shaped strip two is also fixedly installed on the unfolding slide. Arc-shaped strip two is movably connected with fan-shaped strip and arc-shaped strip one when in contact. When arc-shaped strip one and arc-shaped strip two are both located at the position closest to the axis of the supporting circular plate, the circumferential directions of fan-shaped strip, arc-shaped strip one, and arc-shaped strip two are all the same.

[0007] Furthermore, the annular slide is slidably mounted on the circular base plate. Each linkage unit includes a linkage gear, a linkage slide plate, an auxiliary rack one, and an auxiliary rack two. The linkage slide plate is slidably mounted on the corresponding linkage slide block. Spring plates are provided between the surface of the linkage slide plate closest to the axis of the annular slide and the surface of the linkage slide plate closest to the axis of the annular slide and the linkage slide plate. A limit block is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the linkage slide block. The limit block is used to limit the displacement of the linkage slide block relative to the support plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a short linkage rod is fixedly installed at the upper end of each square slide rod, and a linkage gear is rotatably installed on the corresponding linkage slide block. A curved slide groove is symmetrically fixed on the inner side of the linkage gear, and the short linkage rod and the corresponding curved slide groove are movably connected. Auxiliary rack one and auxiliary rack two are both fixedly installed on the linkage slide plate. When auxiliary rack one and auxiliary rack two mesh with the corresponding linkage gear, they form a gear rack pair.

[0009] Furthermore, nine driven gears are rotatably mounted in a circular array on the annular slide, and a linkage rack is fixedly installed on the side of the linkage slide. The linkage rack and the corresponding driven gear mesh to form a gear rack pair, and a gear set is arranged between the nine driven gears.

[0010] Furthermore, the nine sets of square slide rods sequentially transfer the main body, transfer the terminals three times, transfer the wrench three times, transfer the top cover, and retrieve the finished product. The lower ends of the square slide rods corresponding to the transfer of the main body, transfer of the top cover, and retrieval of the finished product are provided with arc-shaped clamping plates, while the lower ends of the square slide rods corresponding to the transfer of the terminals and transfer of the wrench are provided with clamping blocks.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor belt and eight feeding vibratory plates are arranged in a circumferential array on the circular base plate. The eight feeding vibratory plates are used to convey the main body, the third terminal, the third wrench, and the cover, respectively. The feeding assembly also includes eight rotary clamping cylinders, which are used to clamp and transfer the workpieces conveyed by the feeding vibratory plates.

[0012] Furthermore, a guide pipe and a waste cylinder are installed below the linkage slide corresponding to the conveyor belt. The guide pipe is located directly above the waste cylinder. Multiple cameras are also installed on the circular base plate. The cameras are used to detect assembly quality and identify the position of parts.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention compared with the prior art are as follows: (1) By setting up nine stations in a circular array and a switching component, this invention realizes the automatic switching of the connector body between different assembly stations, and can sequentially complete multiple processes such as body installation, multiple assembly of terminals and wrenches, cover installation and finished product removal, which significantly improves the continuity and overall efficiency of assembly. (2) This invention can replace the semi-circular clamping seat according to the assembly requirements, thereby adjusting the clamping diameter, realizing the stable fixation and precise release of connector bodies of different specifications, and ensuring the accuracy of the workpiece position during transfer and assembly. (3) This invention realizes the automatic feeding and posture adjustment of various parts such as the body, terminals, wrenches, and covers by setting up multiple feeding vibratory plates and rotating clamping cylinders, and closely cooperates with the transfer component to form an integrated automatic process from feeding to assembly, reducing manual intervention. (4) This invention adopts a circular layout as a whole, highly integrating the functional modules such as switching, transfer and feeding, with a compact structure and small space occupation. Furthermore, the synchronous movement of the grippers at multiple workstations is achieved through the linkage of the gear ring and gear set, ensuring the coordination and consistency of operations at each workstation and improving the operational stability of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] Example: Reference Figures 1-14A multifunctional connector assembly device includes a circular base plate 101. A transposition component is provided on the circular base plate 101. The transposition component includes a supporting circular plate 108, which is fixedly installed on the circular base plate 101. A transposition circular plate 107 is rotatably installed on the supporting circular plate 108. A transposition motor 109 is fixedly installed on the supporting circular plate 108. The output shaft of the transposition motor 109 is fixedly connected to the transposition circular plate 107. Nine clearance holes 110 are arranged in a circumferential array on the transposition circular plate 107. Semicircular clamping seats 114 are symmetrically arranged in each clearance hole 110. An unfolding unit is provided between two oppositely arranged semicircular clamping seats 114.

[0031] Each unfolding unit includes an unfolding slide 121, two unfolding strips 115, two unfolding short columns 119, and two strip-shaped groove plates 120. The unfolding slides 121 are slidably mounted on the lower surface of the shifting circular plate 107. The two unfolding strips 115 in the same unfolding unit are symmetrically slidably mounted on the shifting circular plate 107. Spring plates are provided between the unfolding strips 115 and the shifting circular plate 107. Semicircular clamping seats 114 are respectively fixedly mounted on the corresponding unfolding strips 115 at the ends furthest from the axis of the shifting circular plate 107. In the initial position, the spring plates between the unfolding strips 115 and the shifting circular plate 107 are not compressed. At this time, the two unfolding strips 115 are located at the closest position, that is, the two corresponding semicircular clamping seats 114 are also located at the closest position. At this time, the two semicircular clamping seats 114 form a complete annular base, and the axis of the annular base and the axis of the corresponding clearance circular hole 110 are on the same straight line.

[0032] The unfolding short columns 119 are fixedly mounted on the corresponding unfolding strips 115. The two strip-shaped grooves 120 corresponding to the same unfolding slide 121 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the unfolding slide 121. The unfolding short columns 119 and the corresponding strip-shaped grooves 120 are movably connected. In the initial position, that is, when the two unfolding strips 115 are closest to each other, the corresponding unfolding slide 121 is closest to the axis of the shifting circular plate 107. At this time, the unfolding slide 121 is pushed to move away from the axis of the shifting circular plate 107. Under the action of the strip-shaped grooves 120, the two unfolding short columns 119 move away from each other, so that the two unfolding strips 115 move away from each other. The spring sheet between the unfolding strips 115 and the shifting circular plate 107 is compressed, thereby causing the two semi-circular clamping seats 114 to move away from each other.

[0033] Nine unfolding units are provided with a fan-shaped strip 116 and two arc-shaped strips 118. Two unfolding cylinders 117 are fixedly installed on the supporting circular plate 108. The two unfolding cylinders 117 are located at the positions for loading the main body and removing the finished product, respectively. The two unfolding cylinders 117 are at a 40-degree angle. The arc-shaped strips 118 are fixedly installed at the piston rod ends of the unfolding cylinders 117. The fan-shaped strip 116 is also fixedly installed on the supporting circular plate 108. The two arc-shaped strips 118 are located at the notches of the fan-shaped strip 116. Arc-shaped strips 122 are also fixedly installed on the unfolding slide 121. The arc-shaped strips 122 are movably connected when in contact with the fan-shaped strip 116 and the arc-shaped strips 118.

[0034] When both the first arc-shaped plate 118 and the second arc-shaped plate 122 are located closest to the axis of the supporting circular plate 108, the circumferential directions of the sector-shaped plate 116, the first arc-shaped plate 118, and the second arc-shaped plate 122 are the same. At this time, the two ends of the sector-shaped plate 116 are in contact with the corresponding first arc-shaped plate 118. At this time, the driving shifting circular plate 107 rotates relative to the supporting circular plate 108. During the rotation of the shifting circular plate 107, the unfolding slide 121 contacts the sector-shaped plate 116 and the first arc-shaped plate 118 in sequence.

[0035] When the main body is in the mounting position, the idle arc-shaped plate 122 rotates to engage with the arc-shaped plate 118 corresponding to the main body. At this time, under the action of the unfolding cylinder 117, the arc-shaped plate 118 is pushed to move away from the axis of the shifting circular plate 107, thereby causing the arc-shaped plate 122 to move away from the axis of the shifting circular plate 107. Under the action of the unfolding unit, the two semi-circular clamping seats 114 corresponding to the arc-shaped plate 122 move away from each other, thus facilitating the installation of the main body between the two semi-circular clamping seats 114. After the installation of the main body is completed, the arc-shaped plate 118 returns to the initial position. At this time, the shifting circular plate 107 continues to rotate, and the arc-shaped plate 122 rotates to engage with the fan-shaped plate 116. Under the action of the fan-shaped plate 116, the arc-shaped plate 122 cannot move, thus locking the position of the two semi-circular clamping seats 114 corresponding to the arc-shaped plate 122.

[0036] When the finished product is picked up, the assembled connector moves to the position corresponding to the unfolding cylinder 117 at the finished product picking position. Under the action of the unfolding cylinder 117, the two semi-circular clamping seats 114 at this position move away from each other, that is, the fixing of the assembled connector is released.

[0037] A transfer assembly is provided on the circular base plate 101. The transfer assembly includes an annular slide 102, which is slidably mounted on the circular base plate 101. The axes of the annular slide 102, the shifting circular plate 107, and the supporting circular plate 108 are on the same straight line. A feed screw 105 is rotatably mounted on the circular base plate 101. The feed screw 105 and the annular slide 102 form a helical pair. A feed motor 106 is also fixedly mounted on the circular base plate 101. The output shaft of the feed motor 106 is fixedly connected to the feed screw 105. When the feed motor 106 is started, it drives the feed screw 105 to rotate, which causes the annular slide 102 to move up and down relative to the circular base plate 101.

[0038] The annular slide 102 is fixedly provided with support plates 127 arranged in a circular array. Each support plate 127 is slidably mounted with a linkage slide block 134. Each linkage slide block 134 has a square slide rod 133 symmetrically slidably mounted at the end closest to the axis of the annular slide 102. A linkage unit is provided between the limiting block 138 and the two corresponding square slide rods 133. Each linkage unit includes a linkage gear 131, a linkage slide plate 132, an auxiliary rack 137, and an auxiliary rack 139. The linkage slide plate 132 is slidably mounted on the corresponding linkage slide block 134. Spring plates are provided on the surface of the linkage slide plate 132 closest to the axis of the annular slide 102 and between the surface of the linkage slide plate 132 closest to the axis of the annular slide 102 and the linkage slide plate 132. A limiting block 138 is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the linkage slide block 134. The limiting block 138 is used to limit the displacement of the linkage slide block 134 relative to the support plate 127.

[0039] Drive the linkage slide plate 132 to move towards the axis of the annular slide 102. Under the action of the spring sheet between the linkage slide plate 132 and the linkage slide block 134, the linkage slide block 134 moves synchronously towards the axis of the annular slide 102. When the limiting block 138 moves to the end position of the support plate 127 closest to the axis of the annular slide 102 and can no longer move, the linkage slide plate 132 continues to move. At this time, the linkage slide block 134 can no longer move. The spring sheet between the linkage slide plate 132 and the linkage slide block 134 is compressed and stretched. At this time, the linkage slide plate 132 continues to move towards the axis of the annular slide 102 relative to the linkage slide block 134.

[0040] Drive the linkage slide plate 132 to move away from the axis of the annular slide 102. Under the action of the spring sheet between the linkage slide plate 132 and the linkage slide block 134, the linkage slide block 134 moves synchronously away from the axis of the annular slide 102. When the limiting block 138 moves to the end position of the support plate 127 farthest from the axis of the annular slide 102 and can no longer move, the linkage slide plate 132 continues to move. At this time, the linkage slide block 134 can no longer move. The spring sheet between the linkage slide plate 132 and the linkage slide block 134 is compressed and stretched. At this time, the linkage slide plate 132 continues to move away from the axis of the annular slide 102 relative to the linkage slide block 134.

[0041] A linkage short rod 135 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the square slide rod 133. The linkage gear 131 is rotatably installed on the corresponding linkage slide 134. A torsion spring is provided between the linkage gear 131 and the transmission gear 124. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the linkage gear 131, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 124. A curved slide groove 136 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner side of the linkage gear 131. The linkage short rod 135 is movably connected to the corresponding curved slide groove 136. The auxiliary rack 137 and the auxiliary rack 2 139 are both fixedly installed on the linkage slide plate 132. When the auxiliary rack 137 and the auxiliary rack 2 139 mesh with the corresponding linkage gear 131, they each form a gear rack pair.

[0042] In the initial position, the torsion spring between the linkage gear 131 and the linkage slide block 134 is not compressed. Under the action of the arc-shaped slide groove 136, the two linkage short rods 135 corresponding to the same linkage gear 131 are in the closest position, that is, the two corresponding square slide rods 133 are in the closest position. At this time, the auxiliary rack 137 and the auxiliary rack 2 139 are both in contact with the linkage gear 131.

[0043] When the linkage slide block 134 moves to the position closest to the axis of the annular slide 102, the linkage slide plate 132 continues to move, and the auxiliary rack 137 and auxiliary rack 139 on the linkage slide plate 132 also continue to move synchronously. At this time, the auxiliary rack 137 and the linkage gear 131 engage to form a gear rack pair, and the auxiliary rack 139 does not contact the linkage gear 131. Under the action of the auxiliary rack 137, the linkage gear 131 rotates, and then under the action of the arc-shaped slide groove 136, the two linkage short rods 135 move away from each other, so that the two square slide rods 133 move away from each other.

[0044] When the linkage slide block 134 moves to the position furthest from the axis of the annular slide 102, the linkage slide plate 132 continues to move. The auxiliary rack 137 and auxiliary rack 139 on the linkage slide plate 132 also continue to move synchronously. At this time, the auxiliary rack 139 and the linkage gear 131 engage to form a gear rack pair. The auxiliary rack 137 does not contact the linkage gear 131. Under the action of the auxiliary rack 139, the linkage gear 131 rotates. Then, under the action of the arc-shaped slide groove 136, the two linkage short rods 135 move in a direction away from each other, so that the two square slide rods 133 move in a direction away from each other.

[0045] Nine driven gears 125 are rotatably mounted in a circular array on the annular slide 102. A linkage rack 130 is fixedly installed on the side of the linkage slide 132. The linkage rack 130 and the corresponding driven gears 125 mesh to form a gear rack pair. A gear set is arranged between the nine driven gears 125. The gear set includes a linkage gear ring 123 rotatably mounted on the annular slide 102 and nine transmission gears 124. The transmission gears 124 are fixedly connected to the corresponding driven gears 125 respectively. The transmission gears 124 all mesh with the linkage gear ring 123 to form a gear pair. A linkage motor 126 is fixedly mounted on the annular slide 102. The output shaft of the linkage motor 126 is fixedly connected to the corresponding driven gear 125.

[0046] The start-up linkage motor 126 drives the driven gear 125 to rotate, and the corresponding transmission gear 124 rotates synchronously. Under the action of the linkage ring 123, all the transmission gears 124 and driven gears 125 rotate synchronously, thereby causing the nine linkage racks 130 to move synchronously toward the axis of the annular slide 102 or synchronously away from the axis of the annular slide 102. The linkage slide plate 132 corresponding to the linkage rack 130 moves synchronously.

[0047] The lower ends of the square slide rods 133 are respectively provided with clamping blocks 128 and arc-shaped clamping plates 129. The nine sets of square slide rods 133 sequentially transfer the main body, transfer the terminals three times, transfer the wrench three times, transfer the top cover, and retrieve the finished product. The lower ends of the square slide rods 133 corresponding to the transfer of the main body, transfer of the top cover, and retrieval of the finished product are provided with arc-shaped clamping plates 129, while the lower ends of the square slide rods 133 corresponding to the transfer of the terminals and transfer of the wrench are provided with clamping blocks 128. The linkage unit causes the relatively arranged arc-shaped clamping plates 129 or the relatively arranged clamping blocks 128 to move relative to each other.

[0048] A feeding assembly is mounted on a circular base plate 101. The feeding assembly includes a conveyor belt 104 and eight vibrating feeders 103 arranged in a circular array on the circular base plate 101. The eight vibrating feeders 103 are used to convey the main body, three-stage terminals, three-stage wrenches, and covers, respectively. The feeding assembly also includes eight rotary clamping cylinders 113, which are used to clamp and transfer the workpieces conveyed by the vibrating feeders 103. Below the linkage slide 134 corresponding to the conveyor belt 104, a guide pipe 111 and a waste cylinder 112 are also provided. The guide pipe 111 is located directly above the waste cylinder 112. Multiple cameras are also mounted on the circular base plate 101.

[0049] Working principle: The semi-circular clamping seat 114 without a workpiece is moved to directly below the linkage slide 134 of the mounting body. At this time, the other semi-circular clamping seats 114 are not directly below the corresponding linkage slide 134. Then, the corresponding unfolding cylinder 117 is activated to move the two corresponding semi-circular clamping seats 114 away from each other. The corresponding feeding vibratory plate 103 and rotating clamping cylinder 113 are also activated. The rotating clamping cylinder 113 makes the conveyed workpiece vertically upward, which facilitates the subsequent transfer of the workpiece by the arc-shaped clamping plate 129. The linkage motor 126 is activated to move the linkage slide 134 to the position farthest from the axis of the annular slide 102. At this position, the linkage gear 131 is not directly above the workpiece.

[0050] Then, the feed motor 106 is started to move the annular slide 102 downward, and the linkage motor 126 is started again. Under the action of the linkage unit, the two square slide rods 133 move away from each other, so that the two arc-shaped clamping plates 129 move away from each other. Under the action of the feed motor 106, the two arc-shaped clamping plates 129 move to both sides of the workpiece, and then the linkage slide plate 132 is driven to move closer to the axis of the annular slide 102, so that the arc-shaped clamping plates 129 clamp the workpiece. The linkage slide plate 132 continues to move, so that the workpiece moves to the top of the corresponding semi-circular clamping seat 114. Then, the feed motor 106 is started again so that the workpiece is located in the middle of the two semi-circular clamping seats 114. Then, the expansion cylinder 117 fixes the semi-circular clamping seat 114 to the workpiece, and the arc-shaped clamping plates 129 contact the clamping of the semi-circular clamping seat 114, thus completing the installation of the connector body between the two semi-circular clamping seats 114.

[0051] During the installation of the main body, the clamping blocks 128 and arc-shaped clamping plates 129 on the other linkage slides 134 respectively complete the installation of the main body terminals, wrenches, covers and remove finished products on the lower semi-circular clamping base 114. By starting the shifting motor 109 to switch the position of the shifting circular plate 107, the position of the annular base is switched, thereby realizing the continuous installation of connector components. After the installation of all connector components is completed, the connector moves to the position below the linkage gear 131 corresponding to the conveyor belt 104. Then, the assembly status of the connector is scanned and detected by the camera above this position. The unqualified connector is fixed by the two semi-circular clamping bases 114 contacting each other through the unfolding cylinder 117. The connector falls into the waste cylinder 112 below along the guide pipe 111. The qualified connector is clamped by the arc-shaped clamping plate 129 above and transferred to the conveyor belt 104, which realizes the conveying.

[0052] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above concept without creative effort are within the protection scope of this invention.
